Many of us have spent our lives never having our joys and triumphs acknowledged. Others deal with depression or self-esteem issues, and being able to even see those joys and triumphs much less talk about them is foreign to us. Others have made progress in therapy, and those joys and triumphs are our victories and evidence of progress and healing. I'm sure there are many other reasons those kinds of discussions are helpful and validating of our worth and strength and perseverance.
